[ RadSafe ] If they really want a SNF repository...

[Jerry Cohen]

As I recall, some years ago there was a community in Utah (maybe Colorado) that 
actively wanted a low-level radioactive waste site and actually campaigned for 
it because of the economic benefits it would bring. However,  environmentalists 
and politicians from elsewhere swooped down on them and convinced them of the 
error of there ways. I wouldn't be surprised if the same fate awaits the 
selected waste site in Canada .

I suspect that anyone who didn't want to live somewhere where they
didn't have to pay income tax could probably find a buyer for their
property.  In fact, I would predict that the construction of up-scale
homes in that county would take a rather large jump.  I would pay money
to watch "social justice" advocates decry poor people being displaced by
wealthy people who want to live near a nuclear waste dump.

And who would decide if we should have a "P" or an "N"?
